Damon, I know the feeling of being ripped off and I'm sure you as well. I apologise, paid the fee now and waiting for it to clear PayPal and be emailed.

Stokes. Untill you can spell kindly fuck off. I liked it when you weren't around.

I have purchased photos of myself from pro snappers and even though they cost me £10 a shot the photographer placed restrictions on what I do with them. this I think is unfair, if I want to use there picture as an avatar on here I should pay then £10.

I hope that won't be the same for me, I'm planning on using the shot as a new avatar and profile pic on facebook etc Razz

Silver, I could just sense that you looked at your computer screen with disgust so I decided to do the right thing Wink

It happens all the time - so not disgust just disappointment. Last year I even found a British Superbike team that had downloaded some of my shots, photoshopped the watermarks out and used them on their website! Earlier in the year the World Superbike website used five of my pictures without asking Shocked

Even people in the racing industry think that we should spending £10-15k on equipment, stand in the rain for half of the weekends through the summer and then provide the results for free! Rolling Eyes Laughing

Couldn't access the image at all of the website, didn't let you right click on it. Only thing I could do was take a screen shot and post it onto word.

Anyway image came through today, if anyone could make this avatar size they'll receive a karma cookie.
